Kathleen Voboril, Co-Lead

 

GE Capital, US ECLP Class of 2012

Kathleen is a “recovering actress” who discovered Corporate America by accident, loved it, and hasn’t looked back. She is beyond obsessed with all things written by Aaron Sorkin, especially the “West Wing,” and can quote most of Seasons 1 - 4 entirely from memory. This does not make her a nerd. Nor does the fact that she never met a dance floor she didn’t love (though not all dance floors return the favor when she busts out patented moves, such as the “pizza delivery guy” or the “snow shoveler”). 

Favorite Book: Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell
